+Res/-Spd Adult Tiki good 5* choice?

I'm thinking long term of making a 40+10 5* Adult Tiki project, but that won't be for a long time. For the time being I at least want to make a 5* Tiki for general use.

1 of my options was a +Res/-Spd since it's the only one I got with a bane in Spd. I realized maybe I could do a Res refinement in her weapon to help normalize her defenses. Heres a few other options I got as well

+Def/-HP
+Att/-HP
+Def/-Res

Should I go with one of these, wait for another IV spread, or go with the aforementioned +Res/-Spd

Her best boon is +DEF and ATK is a close second, and her her best bane is -SPD. I’d say for now go with +DEF-HP and if you do snag a +DEF-SPD down the road, 5* merge them to make an optimal IV.

it would be worthwhile to boost her res so that she can tank red/green mages with ease and destroy them afterwards. lightning breath++res and (maybe?) distant defense sacred seal would seal the deal.

While +Atk/Def are her best boons, Res is a solid choice since it turns her into a very balanced tank. While I’d personally wait for a +Atk/-Spd one (I run those IVs and her Def is high enough to tank reliably), the +Res/-Spd IVs can be a good temporary pair until you pull a perfect set of IVs, and then promote that one and merge.

Which Breath refinement did you give your A.Tiki then?

I gave her the +Res variant. My A!Tiki is actually 5*+10 with SS so she hits a whopping 41 Def and 34 Res Unbuffed. Pair that with Steady Breath and the Distant Defense Seal, and there is very little that can take her down.

Don't let people fool you about the +res way. A A!Tiki with a neutral res can tank a single Green mage Attack and then killing it afterwards, and that's all what she needs to do. With some more res she still dies to Red and blue mages because of her low spd.
People who think giving res is a good idea are the ones that don't consider her Young variant, that with a +res IV has 32/32 def/res unmerged. That's one unit you can freely build as mixed tank.
A!Tiki with a +def IV and +def breath with steady breath is just a Monster, no physical Attack can kill her, at least if it's not some 60 Attack falchion user that can seriously damage her.
With those defences she can survive everything, and then heal with aether.
